For more information on enabling multi-language support, please see the "References" section. After downloading and unzipping KybdStck.exe to a temporary directory, run the form KybdStck. The list box is populated with any loaded Keyboard Layouts. Clicking on a language sets the keyboard layout to that language. Clicking on the button at the bottom of the form displays the currently selected layout. This form demonstrates the following points: - The Init event of the list box uses the GetKeyboardLayoutList function to get the number of Keyboard Layouts loaded. It also uses the GetKeyboardLayoutName and ActivateKeyboardLayout functions to generate a list of the loaded layouts. - The click event of the command button uses the GetKeyboardLayoutName function to get the name of the currently loaded layout. - The click event of the list box uses the ActivateKeyboardLayout function to set the layout to the selected language. REFERENCES ========== The table Langlist.dbf is used as a lookup for the keyboard layout descriptions. This list was obtained from the July 99 edition of the MSDN Library and can be found under the index listing of the LoadKeyboardLayout function and then following the link for Language Identifiers.
